Espresso Thoughts
XLVIII.

I never think of you
But what I smile
And feel you
Smiling back.
______© Nellieanna H. Hay

Surpass the moment
By fulfilling it.
Feel the ALL and be it
In every part,
Wherever,
However,
Whenever
Matter not.
That which IS
Is unconfined,
Known by heart
When I see it
Where I be it,
How I become it
Is it.
______© Nellieanna H. Hay
The world's
An agate marble,
And it is
Played for
"Keeps".
______© Nellieanna H. Hay

Could my fingers grasp
The wind,
The flame,
The light,
The moment?
Does forest grasp its trees?
How then, grasp love?
Yet I am found
In each of these
Merely grasped within
Without
Confinement.
______© Nellieanna H. Hay

Life's a divided highway
With one-way ramps,
To and from;
With speed limits,
Minimum
And maximum;
With lonely,
Isolated,
Desolated
Shoulders
For those who break down
Or can't keep up.
No license is
Required.
______© Nellieanna H. Hay


Swirl into the day
And ride its crest.
It finds the way
Much faster
Riding on the foam
Than one can
Plan and plot it,
Anchored on the ground,
Or in a limousine.
______© Nellieanna H. Hay
To be transformed
From static past
Into dynamic present
Is to be, again ~
A kindergartner.
______© Nellieanna H. Hay


So many paper dolls
And out of all the rest,
Now ~ YOU!
Around the back,
I find a back!
You’re whole,
A person,
Now ~ REAL!
That is the best.
______© Nellieanna H. Hay

Very very talented writer/poetess
....I don't need 'espresso' to think of you .....only my open heart, my relaxed mind ....and the air that I breathe! (with all due respect to the Hollies' song -lol)
I'm brought to feel the warmth and tenderness of your beautiful verses as I sip my espresso in an Italian courtyard surrounded by grapes hanging on the vine and the perfumes of roses blending in with your sweet poetic scribes. These are beautiful as always my sweet poetess I am enchanted by your brilliance. Hugs from me to you.
mighty tasty and I always feel like a kindergartner here. Chapbbook ready?
Another set of wonderful poems form a wonderful friend. Thank you for the pleasure.
As always just too awesome for words. Uplifting and delightful! Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us. Hugs and peace from me to you, my dearest mother in Hubland. I learn so much from you.
I love all the many relative expressions of love, feeling, desire and passion for each and every moment in each and every day. Beautiful! :) Katie
Does the forest grasp its trees? Interesting question posed in the middle, then followed up with a comparison to love. This is a sweet collection of poems, as seems to be your standard.
This was a beautiful piece of writing. It is so enjoyable to read as the words flow through me. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Your poetry is a delight, the cream of the crop! Get a load of those 80's outfits in the video!
I love the imagery of the world as an agate marble. That whole poem is very cleaver, but also beautiful. I believe that the best poetry says a lot in very few words and you’ve achieved this well. I also really appreciate your use of space and the physical placement of all the words. Great job!
The silver fountain that gushes out rivers of gold.
That's you Nellieanna.
And thanks for the lovely pictures as well.
Nellieanna,
I know that when the day leaves me worn, or restless, or weary; I can come and be refreshed by the soothing balm of your words, and I thank you.
Up and beautiful Nellieanna.
Nellie, you are filled with enchantment, and youthful wisdom. Your words are a sight for sore eyes.
It's such a wonderful escape from the world we live in.
My favorite poem was:
Surpass the moment
By fulfilling it.
Feel the ALL and be it
In every part,
Wherever,
However,
Whenever
Matter not.
That which IS
Is unconfined,
Known by heart
When I see it
Where I be it,
How I become it
Is it.
Wonderful...I would love to meet you one day
Carefree moments like this come rare and far between the grind of daily living.Reading your lovely poems over a cup of espresso with the soothing beat of a bossa nova... They're the perfect Blend :)
Yet I am found
In each of these
Merely grasped within
Without
Confinement.
amazing thought very well put Nellie.i often wake up nights wondering why I am so much in love with you.Now i know!!!!
Loved the paper dolls poem, Nellieanna. Smiled out loud when I read it. Not easy to smile out loud, you know.
yes but sometimes things dont always go as expected. and thats the risks we take every day, just walking out the house. most people are too busy wanting more and more to see that theres good right under their nose, we take those things for granted. the present is indeed where its at. hmmm glad to have had a cup with u!
you are truly unconfined and a free spirit painting her words on us all. i love the fullfilling feeling from these poems that life is more splendid than we realize. and you cant plan life. you dont know whats gonna happen in the next second let alone the next day or year. anything can happen. so live in the moments like these, where a simple trip to the espresso shop is an adventure. cherish every moment and every sip as if its your last. life is a journey, a road we must keep travel, no you dont need a drivers liscense and you dont have to be "this" tall to ride this rollercoaster.
You're the best!
up and beautiul
Nellieanna, soooooo much wisdom packed into these poetic pills. Cures what ails me this morning. Love and Light to you. Thanks.
Nellieanna,
I have been reading (and gushing about) your poetry for some time now, and realize how well you have shared your personal philosophies. All of us who read you feel that we know you, understand you, in some way, and are thus made intimate.
Exquisite writing and images that are incredibly personal for the writer and the reader, truly a gift...
C
Accomplished as always Nellieanna, I hope you'll get the recognition you deserve in the publishing world. All the best')
Hi Nellieanna,
A truly beautiful hub and I loved every word of it my friend.
Thank you so much for sharing your truly unique talent with us all.
Take care
Eiddwen.
Surely there must be the right people out there who can recognise your great talent and publish you? :-)
Very beautiful as is all your work! Thank you dear Nellieanna!
She is found, within her words. Revealed in holding them, for the moment and in the next, setting free, that some other may grasp the same, in another moment far away. :) You are wonder come to dress the page.
